These past 4 weeks have been interesting for me. It’s the final quarter of college…and I definitely underestimated the amount of stress I would be under. I didn’t keep my plan and goals in mind as much as I would have liked. To be 100% honest, I completely forgot my goals after I wrote them down and this 4 week tone up morphed into a sort of mini bulk…However, I didn’t slack off. I ate balanced, worked out at least 5/days a week and was overall very positive and proud of myself. But, it’s still good for me to compare my progress over 4 weeks to see what I do better next time! Here are my “results” lol…

After:

So all in all, I didn’t make much progress. However! For having this turn into a nonchalant mini bulk, I’m feeling good about where I’m at. I didn’t gain that much fat and kept my overall look. Now I’m excited to start this Mini Bulk! Link will be here tomorrow!

Eating: pretty decent…no big hangups this week. Ate balanced, not clean. My focus is now on eating healthy but allowing myself whatever I want in moderation. Trying to eat protein in every meal to build this muscle up!

Eating: nothing too out of the ordinary. still allowed myself to eat balanced and still using a lot of the cooking/meal planning skills I gained during my Whole30.

Saturday: rest day (worked the morning shift and went to a music festival all day)

Sunday: 2 hour hike and mini leg circuit workout (check it out here)

Total workouts: 5

Eating: Everything was pretty normal except for Saturday. I let myself have fun at the music festival (drinking and late night In-N-Out run whut whuuuut ❤ don’t regret it and it’s always good to let loose once in a while)

Week 4

Monday: zumba class

Tuesday: heavy weight leg day

Wednesday: rest

Thursday: 1.3 mile run warmup + at-home full body weight workout

Friday: zumba class

Saturday: rest

Eating: overall pretty normal. I did have one meal with sweet potato fries but everything else was fairly healthy and balanced.

Total workouts: 5

In conclusion – what is it with me and these 4 week plans?! I just can’t seem to stay focused on tracking and following the guidelines I take the time to set. Haha okay well this time around will be different! I will not forget my plan because this 4 Week Mini Cut is going to consumer me (in a good way…I hope). I’m going to track everything and give y’all weekly updates to keep myself accountable and to give y’all the behind the scenes.
